New interactive map launch shows positive coronavirus cases per Leeds area

The map - available here - uses data of lab confirmed positive cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) reported by July 15 with specimen dates between July 6 to July 12, 2020.

Cases from pillar 1 and pillar 2 of the Government's testing programme are included on the map.

Pillar 1 is NHS and PHE Testing – swab testing in Public Health England (PHE) labs and NHS hospitals for those with a clinical need, and health and care workers.

Pillar 2 is commercial partner testing – swab testing for the wider population, as set out in government guidance - this includes in-person tests processed and tests sent out.

The figures will be published weekly, with the aim of daily updates in the future.

In Leeds, the map shows the following areas reported coronavirus cases between the dates:

Aberford, Barwick & Thorner: 3

Bramley East: 3

Burley: 4

Burmantofts: 6

Harehills North: 8
